I didn't think I was going to laugh in a good way, but this Twilight movie is the best and most enjoyable of the three. Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) are back, and they need to come to some sort of compromise. She wants to become a vampire to stay with him forever, and he wants her to marry him first, because he's old school.
So, while they keep talking about how Bella is heading off to the University of Alaska (you can see Russia from your dorm room!), Jacob (Taylor Lautner) is trying to stop Bella from changing into a bloodsucking, soulless, cold as ice vampire (and, somehow, wears a shirt for at least 20 minutes before showing up like The Amazing Shirtless Matthew McConaughey, who would have ripped his shirt off in the first 5 seconds, this Taylor kid has alot to learn).
Of course, Dad (Billy Burke) isn't too wild about Bella hanging out so
much with Edward, and tries to push his daughter towards good old Jacob
(which means Jacob doesn't have a chance. No female chooses the guy her
Dad likes, it's the kiss of death, and not in a vampire kind of way).
Meanwhile, the evil Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) is making her way to Forks to get revenge by killing Bella, and The Cullens are worried she might have something to do with a gang of new vampires making their way into town. Willing to do anything to protect Bella, The Cullens make a deal with Jacob to get some help from vampires' biggest, age old rivals - werewolves.
Can werewolves and vampires work together?
Does Jacob have any chance with Bella?
Can Bella convince Edward to suck her blood before getting hitched?
The Twilight publicity machine desperately is trying to convince guys they should check out this installment because it is action packed, but it's not THAT action packed. They should be trying to convince guys to check it out because it's funny and more light-hearted than the first two, which set records for angst and sullenness. In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, everybody wakes up from a brooding-induced slumber to liven it up! I think Edward even smiled!
Director David Slade and writer Melissa Rosenberg (based on the novels by Stephenie Meyer) don't have much of a story to deal with in this movie, but maximize the entertainment value as much as possible, while making our heroes more interesting and human.
You need to have seen the first two movies to get some of the inside jokes, and to understand how everyone got to this point, but even a cursory knowledge or memory of the first two Twilight films will be enough to set up the viewer for what they get in #3 (along with explaining the history of a couple secondary characters that will get the fans all riled up and excited).
Unfortunately, the movie needs to flow better. While the fans get what they want (some heavy petting between Bella and Edward, Jacob without his shirt on, and some good old fashioned rivalry between the boys in a love triangle that gets better in this movie), many scenes are jammed together without an attempt to transition between them. It's too jarring to the eyes and your natural movie rhythms, while Rosenberg doesn't give the actors any amazing dialogue to inspire them or us. This is supposed to be the greatest love story ever told. Write like it!
Lautner still acts too stiff like someone gave him underpants that are 5 sizes too small. Stewart finds a few moments to give Bella a pulse, but it's Pattinson who should be happiest about his performance in The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. He gets to be angry, spring into action, and give the most heartwarming speech. I think he's underrated as an actor, so I am looking forward to his post-Twilight work.
The ending gets violent, so be prepared for some shocking moments.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of action and violence, and some sensuality.
